We've all heard that vaccines can lead to autism. But we've also heard that it's just a myth. And almost every health expert disputes the vaccine-autism link, as do numerous studies. But it's always in your mind: Am I doing the right thing?

A new study by the Centers for Disease Control says that spacing actually has no effect. Read about it in this NPR report.
